Introducing myself to the group. Live and work in Mississippi USA. Have always been a car nut for Lotus and the GT40. Why Lotus? I grew up during the time of Andretti and his F1 career with Colin Chapman. The GT40? The car and its history speak for itself. What a wonderful machine.
I'm just finishing a ground up restoration of a 1983 Lotus Esprit Turbo. Almost 3 years into it now. Me and my weekend warrior friends have done 99% of the work. It good to get another Esprit back on the road.
Now to the next project. A GT40. Would love to build a kit from one of the replicar manufactures. Growing tired of fixing previous owners damage and mistakes so constructing a NEW GT40 would be wonderful.
I noticed in the 'Cars For Sale' section a kit well into construction. Several members say it is the car of Luis Lopez. Is this car worth looking into? Or would I be getting into another 3 year build of a car like the Esprit? Comments would be deeply appreciated.
Again hello and many thanks!
